Fax to SharePoint 3.0

Tutorials Win: Microsoft Windows Forum

I am trying to configure SBS 2003R2 fax server to route incoming faxes to a
new site in Sharepoint 3.0. In SBS, 3.0 is installed in a new virtual
server and the fax wizard restricts routed sites to the companyweb (2.0)
sites.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

The Fax Service can't fax to WSS 3.0 directly. What you might want to do,
is have the faxes go to a directory and then someone upload them to a WSS
3.0 document library for archiving purposes.

Thank you for confirming my guess. This is not an acceptable solution. We
want to make faxes available without increasing operator tasks.

Other ideas/suggestions are still welcome.

What you might want to try is mail enable a document library and then have
the Fax service email the faxes to the email address of the library.

I'm not 100% sure it will work though since WSS 3.0 doesn't work well with
Exchange on SBS.

As I recall, I've seen a powershell script that will do this, but it, of
course, requires installing powershell.

Good Ideas and much appreciated.
However, I located this
http://blogs.technet.com/sbs/archive/2006/11/30/using-companyweb-from-within-wss-3-0.aspx
on the sbs blogs to stay within SharePoint 2.0 and the wizards and yet to
show the faxes in SharePoint 3.0.

Testing tonight....

Hopefully helpful,

Following this approach be aware that you must backup two different
installations of SharePoint.
